What a very fun day today was! We dropped Chase off at Granny's this morning and we met Marie and Dave a few miles down the highway. Rich and Dave had a big day planned ahead.....Richard Petty Nascar Driving Experience at 11:00am!!! Woo Hoo! Marie and I went along to capture the moment! Rich was all 'jacked-up' with excitement and he downed 2 Monster Energy drinks on the drive to Charlotte. I think we all got the jitters when we pulled up to the track. It was so exciting to see the guys redeem their "awesome" birthday gifts from their family. The day started with check-in, changed into your race suit, a Driver's Meeting, a "how-to" crash course, and then the big "Drive your own Nascar!" Marie and I actually got to do a 1 time around the track in a van, which was not expected and such a pleasant surprise. I just can't believe the guy driving the van looked like he was 12 years old.....and he was zooming around that track. It was so much fun. Marie and I also videotaped the whole day and I captured about 305 pictures! I will post some of these soon. The highlight of my day was I "sat" in Kasey Kahne's car!!!!!! OMGosh what fun....I was super giddy and was tempted to pay for an experience myself. Maybe next time! After the experience, we ate lunch at Concord Mills and shopped for a bit before we headed back to get the babies.
Chase had a great day with my family.....they took him back to Durham to see GG. He was happy to hang out with everyone and have a playdate with Bryson.
